Chapter 90 Screen Goddess (Part Two)

Zac scanned the area and saw that the set was already preparing for the shoot. "I’m leaving. Don’t forget to check the phone I gave you." Essie felt relieved to know that Zac, Eva, and Mandy were on her team.

"You’re great. Don’t worry." Zac’s voice was low and sweet. The corners of his mouth lifted. His smile looked so bright. All of a sudden, he leaned towards her and gave her a kiss on the forehead. Essie was stunned, but she didn’t protest. She took it as comfort and encouragement.

At the same moment, a Lamborghini was driving over a few meters away. The man inside the luxurious car happened to witness every detail of the scene. There was an indescribable pain written on his face. It seemed like his heart was being shackled in chains and gradually crushed to pieces.

He had been depressed ever since the fashion week ended. He had no enthusiasm or whatever and just dejectedly waited for every single day to be over.

Florey went to the USA with the excuse of undergoing an operation. She needed to go through it in fear that Hanson might find out the lies that she schemed.

In Hanson’s mind, he thought that when her mother had already recovered, he would be able to explain to Essie in full detail what had really happened, so that he could beg for her forgiveness. But now, his plan seemed to be crumbling down in front of him.

He knew deep inside him that Zac actually had genuine feelings for Essie. And he couldn’t help but blame himself for letting Zac have a chance to get involved in Essie’s life again.

As soon as he got out of the car, Essie saw him and greeted him out of politeness, "Hello, Hanson." A flat and seemingly emotionless voice came out that further made Hanson’s heart sink. He wanted the earth to swallow him up from where he was standing. Then, she hurriedly walked into the room with an indifferent look on her face. She didn’t want to be with him right now even for a second longer. Hanson wanted to follow her, but it felt like his feet were chained to the ground, and his heart was being pierced again and again just at the thought of Essie’s distant attitude towards him.

He always thought that she must have hated him so much after the incident. He humiliated the girl whom he referred to as the "love of his life" in front of everyone. ‘There’s no way she could forgive me, is there?’

All he could do was silently look at her back as she disappeared in his sight.

When Essie went inside the designer’s lounge, the staff was star-struck and quickly thought that she must have entered the wrong area. "Ma’am the star’s lounge is on the other side. This is the designer’s area," one of

ting.

However, it still remained a mystery as to who was behind the scenes and was pulling the strings of this controversial event. The crew of the show didn’t really mind whoever it was, as long as it could increase the success rate of their program.

As Essie noticed the hesitation and doubts on Nicole’s face, she slowly took out her phone and showed her latest designs. "I know I’m not famous enough, but since you have chosen me, you have to trust me. I will do everything in my abilities to amaze everyone, including you," she said in a confident yet gentle tone.

Seeing the burning passion in her eyes, Nicole took a puff and eventually calmed down. "Okay, I heard you. Now, you only have to do one thing for me. We must take down Zoe and whoever designer she was paired with, no matter what!" Nicole and Zoe had always been engaged in heated controversies, whether openly or in secret. To make matters worse, they were now competing for the position of No. 1 actress of their company. It was not an understatement to say that they were as incompatible as fire and water.

Essie gave her word. She didn’t have the slightest intention of losing to Zoe’s partner designer who turned out to be her own rival—Sunny.

In the next room, Zoe was sitting comfortably, thinking about what she was going to do as soon as she won the competition. According to her sources, Sunny should be the unanimous winner of the competition as she had the support from Bella itself, and of course, one of the main judges of the contest—her fiancé.

A complacent smile was also very visible on Sunny’s face. She already knew who she would be facing off at the first round. She vowed that for Essie, this would be her first and last time being a contestant of the competition.
